The Authentic Orthography
Solar Goddess, Truth · Belonging to Savitar
Why sāvitrī.com is the correct form
सावित्री
The name in its original Devanagari form. सावित्री → Sāvitrī. Sanskrit Sāvitrī is written in Devanagari as सावित्री · IAST transliteration maps each Devanagari vowel and consonant to a Latin equivalent · Macrons mark long vowels (ā, ī, ū); dots beneath consonants mark retroflex articulation (ṭ, ḍ, ṇ, ṣ)
SAVITRI
Stripped of its identity, the name was reduced to plain Latin letters. The original orthography — stress, length, breathing — was erased by systems that only understand A-Z.
